ACID IN STOMACH
SOURS THE FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid Is
Cause of Indigestion
A well-known authority states that
stomach trouble anil indigestion is near
ly always due to acidity—acid stomach
—and not, as most folks believe! from
a lack of digestive juices. He states
that an excess of hydrochloric acid in
the stomach retards digestion and starts
food fermentation, then our meals sour
like garbage in a can, forming acrid
fluids and gases, which inflate the
stomach like a top balloon. We then
got that heavy, lumpy feeling in the
chest, we eructate sour, food, belch gas,
or have heartburn, flatulence, water
brash, or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water be
fore breakfast while it is effervescing,
and furthermore, to continue this for
one week. While relief follows the
first dose, it is important to neutralize
the acidity, remove the gas-making
mass, start the li'ver, stimulate the kid
neys and thus ptomote a free flow of
pure digestive jujees.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid <rf grapes and lemon
jtfice, combined vfith lithia and sodium
phosphate. This harmless salts is used
by thousands oIJ people for stomach
trouble with excellent results.—Adv.

CLASSIC WAR POEM*

NO. 34. KING- HENRY FIFTH AND THE
HERMIT OF DREIJX
BY ROBERT SOUTHEY
History repeats itself again and again. Kingly greed and ambition; the
lust for power and conquest; ythe pillage, ruin, devastation, and death'that fol
low in the wake of mnrehing armies; and the retribution that eventually
lay the tyrant low, —all are here pictured in this gem of Southey's, ns they h r
been enacted, again and again, in the past, in the annals of blood-besprinkle
Europe. The same drama is being acted to-day on a yet '-lore colossal scale.
When will sovereigns, drunk with power and insatiate jn their demands for
blood, learn to heed the lesson taught by the humble hermit J I
To Henry's tent a hermit passed;
Their heads the soldiers bent
In silent reverence, or they begged
A blessing as they went:
The king was seated all alone,
The map before him lay;
Fresh conquests he was planning there
To grace the future da}'.
King Henry lifted up his eyes,
The intruder to behold;
With reverence he the hermit saw,
For the holy man was old.
"Repent thee, Henry, of the wrongs
Which thou hast done this land; —
O king! repent in time* —for know
The judgment is at hand.
"I used to see along the stream
The white sail gliding down,
That wafted food, in better times,
To yonder peaceful town.
Henry, I never now behold
The white sail sailing down;
Famine, disease, and death, and thou
Destroy that wretched town.
"I used to hear the traveler's voice,
As here he passed along;
Or mniden's, as she loitered home,
Singing her evening song.

No traveler's voice may now be heard—
In fear he hastens by;
Dut I have heard the village maid
In vain for succor cry.
"I used to see the youths row down,
And watch the dripping oar,
As pleasantly their viol's tones
(.'nine softened to the shore.
King Henry, many a blackened corpsf
I now see floating down!—
Thou bloody man! repent in time,
And leave this leagured town."
"I shall go on," King Henry cried,
"And conquer this good land;
Seest thou not, hermit, that the Lord
Hnth given it to my hand?"
Tho hermit heard King Henry speak, *
And angrily looked down; —
His face was gentle, and, for that,
More solemn was his frown.
"Thou conqueror king, repent in time.
Or dread the coming wo;
For, Henry, tliou hast heard the threat,
And soon shall feel the blow!"
King Henry forced a careless smile,
As the hermit went his way;
But Henry soon remembered him
Upon his dying day. J
